But you knew it had leaked. So surely you can expect people have watched it.
Reddit isn't my homepage so no I didn't know that.

Point still stands, I gave away nothing.
Yes you did. Nobody gets dem feels when extras and minor characters get knocked off

Someone dying was an assumption you made. "Right in the feels" isn't limited to death. Jon and Sansa reuniting was an example of this. You're still getting awfully worked up over something happening even though you had no idea what it was.

You already admitted it was about death. Bit late to spin out of it.

I don't understand the end.

If the only reason Hodor had that seizure was because Bran in the present, decided to warg into him then why is he the way he is before this episode?

Edit: Where are Jon and Sansa going? I understand Brienne has gone to the Riverlands.
My understanding was that because Bran warged while having one of his-past visions, Hodor was able to see his the horror of his own death as a child, traumatising him. Which would explain why he was always so scared of fighting. Never really knew when he was going to be torn to shreds but knew it was coming, yet went along with Bran anyway knowing Bran would eventually sacrifice him to escape.

Although I don't read the books and only really figured out the difference between all the older white guys some time in season 2 so I'm not exactly an authority on the workings or the lore of the show.

Ugh sad episode but thought it wasn't done great, I'm not feeling any suspense this season. Whole season seems disjointed. If the death of the wolves is meant to symbolise something I don't know what it is, summers death was pretty lame and more of a wtf moment, and shaggy dog was just tacked on the end of an ep (if it was him)

Speaking of lame "I command you to find a cure"...blurgh

It felt it incredibly haunting that hodors death is what actually created him, GRRM did well with that one, right in the feels.

The ironborn seem weak minded.

Dorne yet again has vanished from the world, the whole reason people don't like it is because it is just randomly added in, with 0 character development and connection, feels like we are heading further down the path of not caring for them.

Ps. Screw you bran, your action got your wolf, friend, mentor and what I assume is the last of the children of the forest killed.

Also don't know how they could not be caught, cant imagine dragging that sled through deep snow is very fast. Help is on the way.

Well that's my musings on that episode, probs forgot some stuff given the ending.

Edit: remembered Sansa... Sansa growing a backbone after all that's happened makes her character so much more likable. Great development.

Not sure if posted but apparently the Hodor thing was 1 of G.R.R.M.'s ideas.
The HBO Go version has a 5 minute recap of the key points each ep with Benioff and Weiss and they said that they sat in a hotel room with Martin and grilled him for answers and this was a "holy shit" revelation he gave them...

obviously had to be, the Hold the door - hodor thing must have been an idea since he first named hodor.

impressive payoff after 20 years of building that up.

So where are Theon and Yara headed?

Where is a safe port for them to land? The house Manderly was mentioned and they are a Stark loyal House that have a port. No idea where it is though.

It's funny how much you can miss in a show without knowing what was going on at the time but the show writers themselves drop small hints along the way. I'd never heard of the Manderlys til this episode yet it seems they have been in the show previously.

A scene from the Red wedding with Blackfish and...



He was murdered during the Red Wedding so that house has to be up for some bloody revenge.

Im pretty sure after hearing Eurons plan, they are headed to Dany. Makes sense too considering her fleet was burnt only an episode or two ago.

D&D seem to be in a hurry this season.

There's something to pull the strings every episode, not always a death (see Sansa/Jon reunion). His comment gave away nothing.

Stop with the faux outrage.
